What may be news, however, is that parents of such teenagers would need a reminder of how to respond when their sons and daughters circulate photographs of themselves drunk, passed out or in various stages of undress.
Here’s what the parents of all the young people who fed the @LIPartyStories inappropriate images of themselves should do: Confiscate their phones, shut down their Twitter and Facebook accounts and test them randomly for drugs and alcohol every two or three weeks for the next year. Each positive test should result in being grounded for a month. And every one of the teenagers directly involved should be in psychotherapy.
School administrators should suspend each and every one of them from school for two weeks and admit them back to school only with a note from a psychologist or psychiatrist or licensed social worker stating that the student has begun treatment.
Why take such seemingly dramatic steps? Because every, single teenager who sent out a photograph of himself or herself involved in sex or obviously drunk or on drugs via @LIPartyStories is emotionally disordered -- probably suffering with one or more symptoms of a brewing personality disorder (narcissistic personality disorder), very possibly depressed, likely abusing alcohol or drugs or both and very likely addicted to at least one very potent drug: the Internet.

The kid is truly a joy. Now me, I would have -strangled- me!
I don’t know where to “start” on the so-called New Culture, or what I would call Post-Modernism. I could start and then I wouldn’t stop for a long time.
The subject is quite involved and it’s pervasive and extensive ... and from what I can see in the Bible, it’s leading directly into the coming Apocalypse. This is not just a “cycle” that all generations go through and it’s not just another stage in society, which is supposedly “progressing” - but it’s a head-long rush into destruction.
You bet!
The future of America. These are the new Americans that will pay for social security and pay off 17 trillion, and climbing, debt.
> But, no one can cut through the drug addicts excises quicker than a former addict who is working with them. That’s what I’ve seen.
I can agree with that as long as they are recovered. If they’re still an addict they uually become an enabler. That’s what I’ve seen. Unfortunately too many times.
Yeah, you’re right on the issue of whether they are recovered or not. I wanted to make sure that this relative was talking to a truly recovered addict - or else, she was going to be “off-limits”. But, I assured myself that this is the case.
And back in those days when we did something stupid our friends didn't video record it and post it on Facebook for the whole world to see. :^)
We only got caught if a neighbor tattled...
That is going to be one hell of an expensive proposition under Zerocare.
I doubt that the parents are willing to pay for such treatment.
It’s sorta like this for everyone ... “You can pay me now, or pay me later!” The bill will be more later ... :-) ...
I would take the said offending naked and drunk party shot, blow it up to poster size and hang it on the refrigerator.
You can treat the teens, sure.
The photos? They are already on all the sites you don’t want them to be, in a matter of days. Too late on that one.
